Liu Shiying’s voice was still as sharp and aggressive as ever. “I heard that the male lead has been replaced? Who is it?”

Jin Wenxi raised his hand gleefully. “It’s me!” Then, he immediately stood up to welcome her. “Sister Shiying, I’m your fan. I especially like to watch your shows.”

Liu Shiying looked at this lackey-like man in front of her, and her whole glabella scrunched up.

“Are you the one who’s replacing Fu Qi’en?”

“I’m not replacing him. I’m just a stand-in. In the end, the director will pair my body with his face in the post-production stage.” Jin Wenxi was still very happy. Thus, even as a stand-in, he voiced out his pride as if he was the male lead.

However, for a newcomer like him, being able to act with a Best Actress was something that he could only wish for!

It did not matter if he was a stand-in either. What he was collecting wasn’t popularity but experience.

However, Liu Shiying did not give him any face at all. She simply glanced at him unenthusiastically before retracting her gaze. “I don’t think that you match the aura of the role at all. If you can’t do well in the afternoon shoot, I’ll switch you out immediately.”

However, Jin Wenxi was not affected at all. He made a salute. “As you command. I promise to complete the mission!”

This was the scene of a true die-hard fan meeting his idol.

Liu Shiying originally wanted to go to her exclusive spot to do her makeup and hair, but she paused when she passed by Song Wei.

She practically looked at her in disbelief and forced out three words through gritted teeth. “It’s you again?!”

Song Wei responded to her with an especially innocent and harmless smile. “Miss Liu, what a coincidence. We meet again.”

Liu Shiying held onto her throbbing temples with one hand. “So, that person they were talking about—the person who chased a celebrity into the production team and became an assistant—was you?!”

Song Wei was still smiling warmly and brightly. “That’s just what they said. I didn’t say that. My goal has always been clear, and that is you.”

Liu Shiying was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. “I told you, I won’t work with such an ugly person. I’m afraid of ugliness, do you understand? You’re so hideous that I can’t even eat. How could I possibly wear the jewelry you design?”

Song Wei did not retreat from such a personal attack at all. “Appearances do not represent one’s capability. Let me introduce myself to you formally. I’m the one who designed the Exquisite Eye that made Yan Sini famous previously. And before today, Jin Wenxi was just a minor character without many scenes. I was the one who brought him to the director and made him the male lead’s substitute, so that he’d have a chance to film with you.”

Liu Shiying stopped in her tracks. Although she was unwilling, her gaze still landed on Song Wei.

“Are you serious?”

Jin Wenxi immediately raised his hand to vouch for her. “It’s all true. I can testify that no one in my company dares to pull me directly in front of the director. Only she does.”

Liu Shiying recalled that confrontation between Song Wei and herself in the hotel previously, and she seemed to loosen up a little.

In the end, she softened her tone. “For you to be able to appear in front of me again so quickly, it means that your ability and willpower aren’t bad indeed. But I hold prejudice against ugly people, and I will be even pickier about your designs. If you can accept that, then I’m willing to give you a chance.”

Song Wei heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s fine as long as you give me a chance. I’m confident in my designs.”

“That will depend on your performance then.” At this point, Liu Shiying paused for a moment. “However, from now on, I will contact you through my assistant on all matters regarding the design modifications. You don’t need to appear in front of me.”

After she finished speaking, she went to hide at her exclusive makeup table in the corner like she was avoiding the god of plague. Her assistant drew the curtain for her.

Xiao Jing, who had been ignored the whole time, was dumbfounded straight away.

With a shocked expression, she walked out of the dressing room, and that group of friends surrounded her again. “What did Brother Wenxi say? Did he fire that assistant on the spot?”

“Why do you look so pale? It seems like Best Leading Actress Liu Shiying entered the makeup room just now, too? Did you see her? I really want an autograph.”

Xiao Jing was silent for a long time before she said with a gray complexion, “Stop asking. This ugly freak has some skills.”

“Ah? So Brother Wenxi didn’t listen to you… You should have been a little firmer…”

“Stop making a fuss! It’s so annoying!” Xiao Jing waved her hand in irritation and left without looking back.

The few young girls were left confused as they looked at one another.
